Category: Planning Committee

We’re looking for 5-6 enthusiastic volunteers to join the planning committee. The bulk of the work is done in the fall, so that local planning can take place over the winter. The planning committee does the following:

chooses a theme and specific topics

creates content for the website, including writing web copy about the theme and topics, gathering resources

develop activities that can take place online and in-person

promote the event on social media

create graphics for use on the website, social media, and print materials

Please email lovedataweek at gmail by midnight on Friday, August 10 if you are interested. You will receive a response and confirmation by Tuesday, August 14.

As you may have noticed, the Love Your Data week event is now the Love Data Week event. We are beginning to gather our planning committee for 2018. See the details below, including an estimated time commitment and opportunities to contribute. Let us know if you’re interested in joining the planning committee by completing this quick form.

When? February 12 – 16, 2018

Where? Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, your campus, your city, your professional society, your research team/lab, or wherever you want to have the conversation

Who? Anyone can join in on the fun! This event is open to all – researchers at all stages of their career, professionals who use research data, students, community members, small business owners, interested citizens. In the past, we have had participation from data librarians, repository managers, researchers, students, publishers, and more.

How? For now, we are looking for 10-12 planning committee members to create a fantastic event for 2018. This includes developing a theme, creating content and activities, promoting the event, and supporting community members in planning local events, workshops, or discussions. We need people with knowledge about research data management, sharing, and preservation, as well as people with graphic design, content development, and audio/video editing skills. (You don’t have to be a pro at these things to contribute, though we welcome pros if they are willing to donate their time.)
